| - I've been to a few of their locations now and my experience has all been very similar - fast, efficient service with good, satisfying food. I've always ordered the same items despite wanting to try other things on their extensive menu but my go-to dishes are just too good to trade out.
Empress Eel Fried Rice ($13.50) - My absolute favourite although not cheap. Eel, fish roe, crab meat and bonito flakes. Such an awesome combination especially with the eel sauce and I like that it's not too salty. I wish they'd add more eel but perhaps that's just me being greedy.
Fried Chilli Turnip Patties ($7.50) - After my first time trying the turnip patties here, I've tried ordering it at many Chinese restaurants to only be met with disappointment. It has a bit of a kick to it but SO tasty. The turnip patties here are like no other and I'd highly recommend having it with a bowl of congee. Yum.
Salt & Pepper Squid ($9.50) - A very popular, safe item and rightfully so due to its versatility. It goes well with pretty much any rice, noodle or congee that you could order. Some people have mentioned that it often comes out soggy but luckily, I've never encountered it.
Dough Fritter Rice Noodle Roll ($4.75) - So simple yet so good. The rice noodle is very thin so it doesn't overshadow the dough fritter. The sauce to dip adds the perfect flavour and completes the dish.
They open late, food comes out quick, portions are solid. Although prices are on the higher end, it doesn't stop me from coming.
Oh, Congee Queen. You get me every time.
